I baked a loaf of bread today -- I'd started it when the rest of the day went off the rails, and so had to finish it -- and it helped make the day a little bit better. Baking bread is really therapeutic for me. I wasn't good at making non-brick loaves at first, but I really, really wanted to make ciabatta that was better than what the supermarket offered. So I kept at it even with the early (literal) clunkers. Once you've conquered ciabatta, anything else is a piece of cake. Er, so to speak. So then I went on to sourdough. 8-) I mean, you can start with simpler breads, but what's the fun of that? ;-) But anyway, I love to bake bread. Other things, too, but bread especially.
